There are some types of birds that are able to live in a variety of habitats around the world. However many species of birds, such as the birds of paradise, have adapted to only live in one environment, for example the rainforests. This book looks at the variety of magnificent birds living in the rainforest - from the toucans and macaws which fly through the canopy to miniature hummingbirds which dart from flower to flower. It looks at their homes, food and threats. Beautifully designed, and illustrated with stunning new photographs, this book's features include special 'links' boxes highlighting the relationships of rainforest birds to those living in other habitats around the world; and 'Rainforest secrets' reveal amazing facts and stories about some extraordinary birds.
